Super 8 Footage of Dubai and Sharjah in 1969

I am so happy I found Super 8 footage of Dubai and Sharjah in 1969 before the formation of the United Arab Emirates. It feels like I found a small treasure (despite the annoying URL that appears throughout the clips). These videos have been online for a couple if years, so I'm suprised I have not stumbled upon them before.

There is a third video which looks like it was shot by the RAF. (On a related topic and in case you'e not seen this before, watch this video.)

Enjoy the sites of Dubai and Sharjah from 1969.
